    New Bern, NC to Beaufort, NC day trip September 8, 2018 (Cancelled)

    I'll pencil it in. We sold our house in Taberna and are starting on building on our creek house. Soooo much to do, but I would love to do it. I can dock a boat at my dock over night if any one needs it.

    Getting boat lift installed. Need help with ideas for how to do piling setup for easy on off boat

    Mine is set up like #3. Works well just put a "step" off dock . 1 option I would say is a must have once you have it is a remote for lift. Super nice just riding boat up or down.

    No carpet

    Rode carpet about 3 trips and got sick of pulling ,cleaning , drying then reinstalling. Went bare and love the easy clean up and coolness . The snaps get everyone else but somehow never bother me.
